So I went over to my mechanic's today to grab some stuff out of the Celica since he was holding onto it while I looked for a buyer for the car since it knocked Easter Weekend. When I got there, assistance flags me down half way between the parking lot and the shop and tells me my car's been broken into and they took the wheels. He told me they were trying to look for our contact number to tell us about the incident but they couldn't find it. I thought he was joking at first like he normally does, but sure enough, I walk behind the shop and there's my car....sitting on bricks....on its rotors....
The wretched thieves smashed the driver's side door handle pretty well and ripped out the lock cylinder to get into the car. They tore out the center console pretty well with the shifter bezel and AC/radio bezel together in one piece. They took the half-broken Alpine CDA-9857 and iPod cable along with the pocket under the radio. I'm pretty sure all the pocket had was the two remotes for both of my Alpines and the "Toyota", "Celica", and "GT" badges. They took the 12" Infinity sub and 250Watt monoblock MTX Thunder amp I had in the trunk along with my $20 Wal-mart floor jack and lug wrench from the trunk. They left the S-AFC2 though. I also think they took like $3 in loose change from the assorted pockets. I think that's about all they got from inside the car. Outside, they took the Enkies I had for sale along with the lug nuts and left the car on bricks. That was nice of them to do that and not leave the car on its frame. Those were new rotors & pads too. bah. I'll have pics up later tonight or tomorrow morning. I wasn't expecting this to happen so I didn't have my camera with me. What a sh*tty feeling. Plans thus far for the car are: 1.) Hand it over to Death so he can fix it for his kid 2.) Part it out or 3.) Take off what I can, and donate the car as a tax write-off -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}
